PATTERN-ENVELOP.

. To all whom t may concern:

' on, a scale large enough to be easily inter-v Be it known that I, FRANa HU'r'rER, a subject of vthe Emperor of Austria-Hungary,

having declared my intention of becoming a citizen of the United States,and a resident of the city, county, and State of New York, whose postoiiice address is The'McCall city, New York, have invented certain new'and useful Improvements lin Pattern-Envelops, of which the following isaspecification.

My invention relates to envelops for paper patterns used for example indress'making and consists chiefly in the production of an envelop havingillustrations and instrucfA tions printed thereon in such locations thatthe relationship between the several views can be easily and quicklyseen and understood by the unskilled as well as those familiar with thedressmaking arts.

'The objects and features' of novelty will be apparent from thefollowing description, particularly. pointed out in the subjoinedclaims.

In the drawing, Figure 1 is a face view of a pattern envelop with theelongated back flap opened out flat in the posltion it is adapted toassume when the work is being laid out from apattern taken from theenvelop; i f

Fig. 2 is a sectional view throughthe envelop containing a patternshowing the elongated back flap in closed position.

It is customary on pattern envelops to print'considerable'instructivedata and diagrams to assist in laying out .the work, cutting the goodsand making up the garment.

The various printed instructions, illustrations and diagrams requireconsiderable space-'tobe legible and for this reason much of the data isusually printed on the back of the-envelop, a small area being leftLplain for the short flap lto fold over onto. By utilizingboth the backand front of the envelop for; the illustrations, diagrams and printed.

jHowever, experience has taughtv that isl quite troublesome andimpractical to be continually turning the envelop over' andl overto makecomparison p' of one diagram v ith another and t? read (hrections'nn oneSpecification of Letters Patent.

side of the .envelop relating toI a diagram which is printed onthehother side.'

T o overcome the above objections,`I have* devlsed thev envelop withtheelongated vback flap .3- as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

The elongated back -flap 3 furnishes a convenient place on which toprint much of the illustratlve and descriptive matter that has hithertobeen printed on the back of the envelop proper, with the advantage thatall theillustrations and text are visible at lthe same time when theflap is opened out by lllqnfolding any attempts have been made toprovide dicating the sequence in which the parts are to be put together,all of which are more or less confusing and require considerable time land patience to interpret.

On my improved envelop I have carefully along the line X as shown inplanned out the location of .both the illus- I trative diagrams and theprinted instructions. f i. f

In the present embodiment of my invention I have elected to dispose thevarious parts of the instructive data as shown in Fig. 1, but it is ofcourse to be understoodl that I do not limit myself to the. exactarrangement there shown.

I have divided the front face 4 of the envelop into four rectangularareas 5, 6, 7 and 8, and the back flap into similar areas 9, 10, 11 and12. The rectangles'6 and 10 are provided to contain thetitle, 'ving thename of the company, making t e pattern, the number of the pattern andgeneral information such as waist measure,'length, etc.

In the rectangle 7 is printed a measurement table indicating the amountof material necessary for a vgarment correspondlng to dlerent sizes andin' the vspace 8 1s f printed a diagram showing how tobest cut the goodseconomically.

In the rectangles 11 and 12 on' the back iap are printed instructionsrespectively' on how to cut the material, and how to make up the garmentafter the pieces are all cut out.

In the space 5 on the front of the envelop, are shown two differentstyles 15 and 16 of a completed garment either of which may f be madefrom the pattern 13 inclosed in the envelop. In the space 9 on the backiap 3 are shown diagrammatic detail views of the that the separate partscan be easily identified, for example, the detail of the collar 14 issubstantially in line With the collar 14 of the complete garment, thewaist parts 17 and 18 in line with the waist 17 on the garments 15 and16. The belt and skirt parts 19 and 20 being similarly located withrespect to the illustration 15 and 16. In other words the details of thecomponent parts are illustrated substantially in line with the locationsin which they appear in theillustration of the completed garment. rIheparts 21 and 22 are for optional use in the style of garment illustratedat 16, the printed descriptive matter 23 identifying the two.

In the drawing the spaces 5 and 9 are shown of exactly the same heightin consequence of whidhl the separated figures in space 9 have to be ona slightly smaller scale than the assembled parts in space 5. rIhe samereasons throw certain parts, such as the belt, slightly out of line,comparing one set of figures with the other.v But, they aresubstantially in line or so nearly in line that the eye readilyassociates the parts in one group with those in the other. Again, itwill be understood that the quantity of descriptive matter required onthe two parts of the envelop may be diierent and it may 'be desired tomake one of the spaces 8V or 9 larger than the other and to locatethe-center latitudinal line of one above or below that of the other. Butthese spaces must be kept so nearly in alinement as to enable the eye toreadily associate the parts in one spacewith the same parts in the otherspace.

nsf/atea In some cases the descriptive and illustrative directions forthe use of patterns are printed on cards or labels which are notintegral parts of the envelop, but such labels are gen-v erally subjectto the same restrictions as to.

the complete garment might be printed on the back iap,and the details onthe front flap or the dispositions of the groups of illustrations 5 and9 may be separated by a column of printed descriptive matter. In factvarious changes may be made in details and in the arrangement of thedescriptive and of the illustrative matters without departing from theinvention, as dened 1n the following claim. l

What I claim is:

A pattern envelop having thereon at least one illustration'of a completegarment and a group of separate illustrations of the several componentparts, dhe envelop including a Hap, said illustration of the completearment and said group of illustrations belng delineated on'diierentparts of the envelop and so arranged that when the Hap is opened out allthe illustrations will appear in substantially one plane and theseparate illustrations in said group will appear substantially in linewith the locations in which they appear in the illustration ofthecompleted garment. l

In witness whereof, I have hereunto signed my name.
